Cranberry Relish

So many things we eat around the holidays are American originals, like pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, turkey as well as cranberries. This unique berry was traditionally grown in New England in water filled bogs but now is grown in other states as well.

Cranberries are harvested in the fall by machines that knocked the fruit from the plants and stored by floating the berries in water. Once they are packaged, they are shipped off to all parts of the country to be sold for holiday cooking.
